I have absolutely no problem calling many things that AI is used for as a tool in art. Where the problem comes from is when there's lying. Not even so much truth... since sometimes there may be interpretation. But when there is outright deceptive lying... then we have a loss of trust. It very much sounds like Claire is very honest (and private, which is ok but can create both a bit of fear of deception but also positive intrigue). Just as long as we're being as honest as possible... by simply not having nefarious deception as intent. That means we, as viewers or consumers of the content (in this case, art) trust that what is presented is told with that good intent.
